ISS was pushed through by Clinton in 1993. With 7 redesigns in 9 years
and a very, very weak vote in the previous budget, ISS was doomed.
Clinto pulled together the deal with the Russians and got it through
congress.
Note, there was not much by way of a partisan vote either.

There is no evidence of that. The major blocks to the CEV are
Republicans. (Specifically Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY)
of the House Committe on Science). The Clinton administration
supported more X programs aimed at manned space flight than
any administration since the 1960's. This really is not a
partisan issue. (Well, excepting that there are a lot of budget
cuts this year in a lot of programs and Bush will not likely
be able to avoid NASA getting the same.)
